Allegation Against Eire United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received October 13, 7.30 p.m.) LONDON, October 12. Mr James Little, the Member of Parliament for County Down, at a meeting in Belfast said that when the Eire Government was asked about supplying petrol to U-boats, the reply was that It had no knowledge of the matter. "That was putting the glass to the blind eye with a vengeance. Here we had a British dominion selling its petrol and oil to enable German submarines to sink British ships. There is nowhere else where Gei-mans could get petrol on the west coast of Ireland,” declared Mr Little.
